I would of posted this in the automotive forum but it looks like nobody responds in there and I need a quick response. I just want to clean up this intake manifold. I am not to sure on how to mount it to support the work piece. I just need to run a fly cutter over it to just get it straight. please help -garrett |

| There is no easy way to do this other than making a hold down base that attaches to the carb side. This base would be your center pivot point . You need three points to level the surface, your other two points could be some 3/8 bolts pushed thru the bolt holes on the opposite side (I am assuming is a V8 intake) that you would pinch down to your table with some hold downs, and use shims to get the desired level. |

| I used a surface wet stone grinder not a mill, however this setup might work as well. you could make the spigots out of 5/8 bolts, cut off the heads and turn down on lathe to 3/8. you could leave point B static and adjust spigot screw on point A's to get level or place shims in point B to get forward and back level. use a one or two chain clamps, hold downs, even welding a plate (to be cut off after) to manifold will work to hold down at carb (steel shim) point. crude but effective hope it could help you. is a tough one I know! PS. if is not too warped some 150 grit emery cloth duct taped to a nice straight steel plate and 15 minutes of elbow grease would work also but thats no fun nor challenging. lol Last edited by Cyclone; 04-08-2005 at 12:56 PM. |
